    Around 1996, one of the band members of Looking Glass was a member of The Little River Band. LRB played a concert at a tiny beach-bar on the northern shore of Clear Lake ( near the tiny community of Del Lago - Texas, USA... near Houston ). My girlfriend and I were one of about 10 people in the audience of the outdoor performance. We danced to this song. I always thought there was something special about that song. This rendition is at least as good as the original.

    Bongos, bongos, bongos! I went to California first time when I was 18 in 1978. Left Canadian winter behind for a week. Been back every so often to visit friends. Got property in Joshua Tree. California gets under your skin. Loved the cover of Brandy and the beach clip. Keep it up, it’s great.
